SKGB Board of Directors decision taken on the 25th January 2019.

 

Fly-posting

 

After receiving numerous complaints regarding SKGB members fly posting. The board of Directors unanimously agreed the following with immediate effect.

 

  1. Associations / Clubs and SKGB members will not be permitted to fly-post to advertise their association or clubs as it brings the SKGB into disrepute.

 

  1. Fly-posting is illegal and is controlled under a range of legislation. It constitutes an environmental crime, along with a wide range of issues such as graffiti, littering, fly-tipping and dog fouling. Fly-posting damages the physical environment, is detrimental to quality of place and communities, has high clean-up costs and is linked to anti-social behaviour. Fly-posting can significantly reduce the attractiveness of urban areas, especially those in need of regeneration. ENCAMS states that, “fly-posting attracts graffiti, sending out the signal an area is uncared for and can exacerbate people’s fear of crime. This in turn stops businesses choosing to locate there and can also keep visitors away” (Extract from Scottish Executive Development Department) Fly-posting is also a road traffic offence.

 

  1. Associations / Clubs and SKGB members who have already fly-posted have until the 31st March to remove all fly posting. Failure to remove fly-posting and continued fly-posting   will result in disciplinary action from the SKGB.

The diversity of skills and actions involved in karate, and the diversity of its members, makes karate an exciting and dynamic martial art. Scotland also has a history of successful female karateka as club practitioners, association executive members, coaches, competitors, and referees/ officiating staff. Developing or increasing a female membership can: dilute an aggressive bullying environment that has been found in some male sports; increases class sizes; increase the pool of expertise and talent within your club; aid men/boys developing respectful relations with women/girls; and, of course, bring extra revenue into a club. As such, ensuring your dojo is suited to welcoming and retaining female members is beneficial for women, girls, coaches, and clubs. Informed by academic research, this booklet aims to help coaches increase and retain their female membership and develop encouraging and empowering dojos for women and girls by:
